Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology

Vision 2020 is not an option. For many veteran teachers, technology has been an option. We are past that segment now. To be included in the education field from this day forward, teachers must be willing to come aboard and change the teaching practices of years past. Vision 2020 is the beginning of a professional learning community focused on technology. Everything from instruction to communication is going to be centered around and measured by technology. We can not afford for educators, students, family or community stakeholders to be left our of the process. Even though there is a high need for student instruction, I believe there is an even higher need for educator and community instruction. Young people are already ahead in their use of technology, as an administrator I must be willing to take the steps necessary to bring the entire learning community up to standards for producing students that can meet the ever changing challenges facing them in today's technological society.
